3D Shapes Volume, Area & Mass Calculators

Overview:

Shapes are geometric figures or forms with a specific outline or boundary defined by points, lines, curves, and surfaces. They can be classified into two categories: two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D). 2D shapes sit flat on a plane and have length and width but no depth. Common 2D shapes include Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles and Polygons. 3D shapes have length, width, and depth. They occupy space and have volume. Common 3D shapes include Cubes, Spheres, Cylinders, Pyramids and Cones. Shapes have various properties that help in their identification and classification including Sides and Angles, Symmetry, Vertices, Faces and Edges. Shapes are fundamental in mathematics and are widely used in art, design, architecture, engineering, and everyday life. Understanding shapes helps visualize and solve problems related to space and form.

Calculator for surface area, volume and mass of various 3D shapes commonly used in engineering using known values. It includes the ability to choose from a selection of popular units often used in these types of calculations.
